BEHIND THE LABEL
Welcome to Coca-Cola’s Sneak Peek Behind the Label
“We seek greater value and impact by bringing partners together across industry, government, and society to address shared challenges.” James Quincey, Chairman and CEO, The Coca-Cola Company
Every day, The Coca-Cola Company refreshes the world, bringing people together through iconic brands and unforgettable experiences. Your dedication to a better shared future shines through in your focus on innovation, quality, partnership, and purpose. At MCC, we’re inspired by this ambition and excited by the opportunity to join you on this journey. Our proven track record, expertise, and agile structure uniquely position us to support your goals. We are excited to partner with you to help bring your portfolio to life in the hands of every consumer. As we take you Behind the Label and share the MCC story, remember this: A great label does more than inform. It is the visible connection to a brand’s iconic status. It champions sustainability and exceeds consumer expectations, reducing footprints through recycled materials, lightweight packaging, and easier recoverability. It reflects commitments to quality, collaboration, and social responsibility that define The Coca-Cola Company.
Caroline Burgess
Together, we can shape the future of consumer engagement through packaging that not only protects and promotes but also inspires and elevates. We look forward to continuing the conversation and helping The Coca-Cola Company build its business for generations to come.

Bow Label MCC transformed a viral concept into a functional packaging solution that became a global signature innovation. Through 18 months of R&D and technology investment, we successfully engineered a bow label that could be mass-produced in continuous reel format.
SITUATION Inspired by a Brazilian ad featuring a bow label concept, the challenge was transforming the idea into scalable manufacturing reality.
TASK Develop a functional bow label that could be produced in a continuous reel format.
ACTION • Conducted 18 months of research and development. • Collaborated with supply chain partners to engineer the complete production process. • Created a U-shaped knife cut to expose the pull string for bow formation.
Introduction Technology
CARBON BENEFIT

“The Bow Label has become a symbol of refreshment and recognition that wraps every bottle in brand storytelling. Its clever structural design allows it to flex across cultures and occasions—from the festive charm of Christmas to the elegance of Ramadan and even playful expressions like Valentine’s Day. It’s a versatile canvas for celebration, and we’re excited to see more regions bring it to life.” Gerd-Hinrich Blecken Technical Director, Research & Development

RECENT PROJECTS WE’RE PROUD OF
“Share a Coke” Campaign Personalization MCC revolutionized beverage marketing with a variable name printing system that personalized Coca-Cola bottles for individual consumers. Our hybrid printing technology enabled mass customization at scale, delivering measurable business impact and industry-wide influence.
SITUATION Coca-Cola aimed to increase consumer engagement and sales through product personalization, requiring a scalable solution that could connect on an individual level.
ACTION • Developed a hybrid digital and conventional printing methodology. • Printed 1,000 variable names weighted by U.S. population data. • Expanded the campaign to include song titles and interactive peel-and-reveal codes.

Reclaimable Roll Fed Labels
ACTION • Optimized label materials for recyclability and to reduce environmental impact. • Collaborated with bottlers to maintain existing operational speeds and quality targets. • Engaged a third-party research firm to verify testing and results for submission to the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR).
MCC engineered the first reclaimable and recyclable roll fed label, which enables brands to offer consumers a fully recyclable PET bottle with the label on! recycLABEL™ cPET Roll Fed with washable inks reduces environmental impact while delivering operational efficiency.
SITUATION Supporting Coca-Cola’s goal to collect and recycle the equivalent of every bottle or can sold globally by 2030 requires focus on the entire package lifecycle.
RESULT • Enabled PET/rPET bottles to be fully recyclable with labels affixed. • Optimized design resulted in thinner label construction, lowering material consumption. • Improved line efficiency due to the higher label count per roll and fewer roll changes during application of the thinner labels. • Obtained Critical Design Recognition from APR*
TASK Develop label technology compatible with PET/rPET bottle recyclability while maintaining production efficiency and quality standards.
Dr. Craig Bushman VP, Global Research & Development
*September 30, 2025
Introduction Technology
“Our effort to deliver recycLABEL cPET Roll Fed labels to the bottled water industry is the first APR-recognized RF label that is additive to the rPET recycle stream in the US. If only one label out of a billion makes it into the final stage of reclamation, it is additive to the APR yield! The use of cPET supports closed-loop recycling, helping brands meet their sustainability goals, and reducing landfill waste.”

PRIORITIZING WATER REPLENISHMENT
HELPING TO REDUCE PACKAGING WASTE
REDUCING EMISSIONS
SUPPORTING MORE SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
Since 2015, we have returned more than 100% of the water used in our finished products globally, on an aggregate level, to nature and communities. Moving forward, we will also seek to return 100% of the total water used in each of our more than 200 high-risk locations across the Coca‑Cola system by 2035.
We’re focused on measurable and interconnected actions under two pillars: Design and Partner to Collect. We aim to use 35% to 40% recycled material in our primary packaging, including increasing recycled plastic use to 30% to 35% globally by 2035, and we aim to help ensure the collection of 70% to 75% of the equivalent number of bottles and cans we introduce into the market annually by 2035.
We are taking action to help mitigate the impacts caused by climate change, so we set a target to reduce our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions in line with a 1.5°C trajectory by 2035, from a 2019 baseline.
The quality and integrity of our products depends on a sustainable supply chain with successful, thriving farming communities and ecosystems. Supporting initiatives in agriculture creates a nexus for solutions on interrelated issues, including water security, climate resilience and emissions reduction. We work with our suppliers and partners to help create systemic change in our agricultural supply chain. click to learn more

Introduction Technology
Where do you want to market your product? Location matters when it comes to regulations, recycling, and supply chain security.
What is the container type and material? Your label will need to be compatible with the container, and certain combinations are more recyclable than others, for example.
What is your current label technology? Whether you stick with your existing technology (i.e. pressure sensitive) or you’re considering a switch, it’s important to understand the implications here.
What are your sustainability goals? What matters to you overall? Is it improving recyclability? Reusability? Overall carbon footprint reduction?
